BirdLover:
Wonderful news, TPC. Thanks for setting the scene.
The Peregrine Chick:
All the Logan chicks have fledged and are very quickly getting the hang of flying. They have been back to the nest and higher than the nest and all without the lure of food to drag them around. The foster chick hasn't really shown much interest yet in flying, quite a patient bird which is kind of cute to watch. Today all the Logan chicks have come back within seconds of my checking out the camera - and they all come to visit the foster chick - another rather cute thing to watch. Very glad this fostering seems to working out well.
The Peregrine Chick:
Second fledge yesterday, one of the two remaining Logan females. She did not badly until she didn't. Don't worry she was fine. Got herself caught in a place where she needed to a) be rescued or b) figure out how to work her way out. She did the latter and more power to her - she managed to not only get grounded, then up but managed to get most the way back up to the height of the nest before she needed to take a nice long break. She was there for most of last evening. She didn't make it back to the nest to sleep so far as we can tell last night but it may be she was just off camera. We do know that second Logan female, foster female and little male hung out with Joli last night right at the nsetbox. It was cute - they were four little statues all sound asleep for hours. Then off went Joli, Logan female started her morning flap and landed on sleeping brother, who looked bemused for a few minutes to have lost his lovely napping spot (see photo below) and flew off. Then Logan female went running off camera and I can't find her so not sure if that mans she's fledged - reasonable given her age and that her sister has gone - or if she's gone to hang out on a ledge around the corner where our cameras can't reach. Only time will tell. At the moment, foster sister is perched on the edge of the nestbox looking very much like a grown up peregrine (she's lost a lot of fuzz from yesterday) napping and not looking too interested in following her foster sibs wherever they may be.

So far so good, will keep folks in the loop!
BirdLover:
So glad she's fitting in.
